Skin lipids in desert bats suggest wing and tail membranes are important in evaporative cooling! Excited about this new paper out in @CompBiochPhys in collaboration with @agustimg @EEOB_OSU @osumansfield and @mddeBGU! 🧵Below: authors.elsevier.com/c/1dlQk3v7jMyk…

@adam_kranz @keccers I TAed a class in grad school where one of the big assignments was to debate the merits and validity of Erwin’s classic paper on beetle diversity. Fun to see the conversation extended to wasps!

@keccers @ChampagneLabUSI Wait lol I somehow had no idea that the person who wrote the paper making that claim is one of my main collaborators?? That's neat link.springer.com/article/10.118…

@keccers You never know who might use those kid pics against you! If memory serves, I was reading a book by Matt Christopher about hockey.

Soon, every individual Herring Gull will be its own species, and gulls will surpass beetles as the most species-rich taxon.

Birds of The World: The Cornell Lab@birdsoftheworld

Sneak peak for our upcoming eBird/Clements Taxonomy update... 😉 The Herring Gull is going to split into four species, leading to the BIGGEST taxonomic revision in eBird history!! Learn more what to expect on 22 October by visiting our blog! buff.ly/3Y5ncA0

You’re telling me there’s a whole company named “Panda Express” and when it’s time to actually transport and deliver pandas another company does it

Telling stories about rare bird sightings isn’t something unique to modern birders. Here’s an incredible account from some Cherokee elders in Georgia, circa 1902, who were still talking about the visit of a vagrant scissor-tailed flycatcher from forty years earlier.

Seriously, cats can decimate bird populations. Please keep your pet cats indoors. They can join you on the couch while you watch your favorite team, whether their mascot is a bird, a cat, or whatever a Hoosier is.

Aspen goes birding⛸️@birdmoder·14 Eyl

So I thought I'd cover some "funny" bird names to explain why they're called what they are. Starting with tits. And it's a really simple answer a "tit" in old english is essentially just something small. So smol birds

Itsprobablyapril ✨@oh_itsjustapril

So...why did they name it that?

Woah! New research shows how vital biodiversity is to thriving humanity: In US counties where bats declined from white-nose syndrome, insect numbers surged, leading to a 31% rise in pesticide use and subsequently *an 8% increase in infant mortality*! #Biodiversity #Conservation

The Lions have been jinxed for so many years, I’m hoping they’ve developed an immunity to the SI Cover Jinx.

The Lions are on the cover of Sports Illustrated — and SI picked Detroit to win the Super Bowl.

Many Americans are baffled by "Right to Roam." It's a very different approach to the bundle of rights associated with landownership. In the green countries you can basically walk around anywhere other than someone's yard. Farms and woods are "owned" but not "private."
